After a night in the Mallala Sports Ground we could have stayed the following day to watch our first live AFL game but we were dying to get to the coast. On Saturday April 17 we checked into the caravan park at Stansbury on the East Coast of the Yorke Peninsula. It is a tiny seaside holiday village with a great jetty for fishing, a nice beach and without realising it we had arrived for the biggest Sunday on the Stansbury calendar! The following day we wandered through the Stansbury Markets full of stalls selling local produce, home made preserves, 2nd hand bric-a-brac and lots of deep fried food and watched parades of restored Chryslers, classic caravans and hot rods. There was also the wooden and classic boat display, the restored stationary engines display and South Australia's tall ship, the "One and All", sailed in to the jetty. What a mixed crowd there was! The van park was packed with members of these various groups and we also met a women's fishing club who were in competition for the week. Then on Monday morning the place was deserted!
